Apothecary Shoppe Recalls Phentolamine Vials Due to Sterility Concerns
The Apothecary Shoppe LLC is recalling SIU-Phentolamine 5 mg/mL vials in Oklahoma due to lack of documentation for environmental monitoring during production.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II due to a documentation error regarding environmental monitoring. As no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is a theoretical risk of contamination rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or structural defect, it falls under the 'Moderate' criteria for low-risk contamination or voluntary precautionary recalls.
